UVY1A471MED

The UVY1A471MED from Nichicon is a miniature radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UVY series, rated at 470 µF and 10 V. Designed as a standard-type polarized capacitor, it delivers compact energy storage and smoothing in general-purpose electronic circuits.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, a compact can size (φ6.3 × 11 mm), and a 1000 hour endurance rating at 105°C, making it suitable for applications that require a small footprint with defined high-temperature lifetime performance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and a capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Temperature and Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C with a life/endurance specification of 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Low and High-Frequency Ripple Capability — Specified low-frequency ripple current of 250 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 375 mA at 10 kHz to support a range of filtering requirements.
• Electrical Loss and Leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.24 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and a leakage current of 141 µA (specified condition in product data).
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead mounting with a can diameter of 6.3 mm and body length of 11 mm; lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm) for through-hole PCB layouts.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as noted in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Intended for general-purpose circuit use where a compact 470 µF, 10 V polarized electrolytic is required across a wide temperature range.
• Power Supply Filtering — Suitable where specified ripple current handling (250 mA at 120 Hz / 375 mA at 10 kHz) and capacitance are needed for smoothing and decoupling.
• Embedded and Industrial Modules — Fits space-constrained, through-hole designs that require defined endurance (1000 h at 105°C) and reliability over a broad ambient temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Small footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can size reduces PCB area compared with larger radial electrolytics while maintaining 470 µF capacitance.
• Wide operating range: -55°C to 105°C rating supports designs that must perform across deep cold to high operating temperatures.
• Defined high-temperature endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C provides a measurable lifetime parameter for thermal-stress planning.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling: Specified ripple current at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies lets designers assess performance for multiple supply and converter conditions.
• Through-hole mounting: Radial lead format and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify assembly for hand-soldered or wave-soldered boards and legacy layouts.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental requirements noted in the product data.
